February 4, Day 2: LOTS of Different Things to Work On

We got an early start on several activities on Monday, but Tuesday was our day to fan out across the school and get to work. Among the 12 of us, we covered a surprising number of jobs.


Doug started on a big project in the new priest's house on the campus, the House of Grace. Doug had to call on his construction skill and stamina, but the shower looks great even now. It will be fabulous by the end of the week.


Doug wasn't the only one working on the House of Grace. Here's Wendy, sanding a door out on the porch.


Don and Jeannine took the lead with heights and weights this year. The St. Luke's team has recorded these for all students in the school for about 10 years. The data is useful for tracking the growth of individual students, as well as for capturing trends across the entire population.


Peggy played and sang for the preschoolers. She has also been working with the oldest kids, Standard 6, on some songs that they will sing at their graduation in June.


Bob made a presentation to Ms. Tasher, the principal, of handmade crosses created by St. Luker Mark Karengin. A cross will be presented to each Holy Cross graduate as a part of their graduation ceremony.

Dr. Jim opened his usual "office" for students (and teachers) requesting an appointment. Wendy played the vital role of walking students to and from their classrooms. Mary has played this role through the week as well.


Bob (photo above) and Nancy (photo below) worked with the Standard 6 students as they prepared for the math portion of their PSE exam. These photos show a lesson involving business math: cost, selling price, profit, percent profit, etc.


"Total selling price equals total cost plus profit, so profit equals total selling price minus cost."


WendyT (photo above) and Janet (photo below) worked in the literacy center, helping students one-on-one with a structured program to improve their reading.


Where's Jan? She was the one behind the camera taking all of these photos illustrating what the rest of us were doing.
